Itinerary
DAY 1: We break
up our journey with an overnight stay in northern France.
DAY 5:
Aix-en-Provence
(included ) We visit
Aix-en-Provence where you will have time at leisure. Built
on the site of thermal springs. Aix is well known for its
fountains, and the ‘Fontaine de la Rotonde’ on Cours Mirabeau
dates from the 17th century. Restaurants and cafés abound
around the leafy Cours Mirabeau. Aix’s most famous son was
the painter Paul Cézanne, and it is possible to follow the
town’s ‘Circuit de Cézanne’, which is indicated by round
bronze discs embedded in the paving. Alternatively, you
may wish to join our optional sightseeing tour, which will
reveal some of the town’s history, and details about the
different sectors. B,D
DAY 2: We travel to LYON where we join our cruise
ship this afternoon. We cruise south, passing the towns
of Vienne, Condrieu, and St Vallier, with Diane de Poitiers’
castle. We then pass by the famous Hermitage vineyards,
where you will see famous names written on the hillside
of Jaboulet. We pass Crozès l’Hermitage, and arrive in Tain
l’Hermitage, where dinner will be served on board. We will
moor overnight at Tain l’Hermitage. B,L,D
DAY 3: Avignon (included) This morning,
we sail early, passing Valence, Montélimar and Viviers before
arriving this afternoon in the historic city of Avignon.
Here you can discover the delights of this magnificent walled
city, or take part in our optional visit to the Pope’s Palace.
B,L,D.
DAY 4:
The Camargue & Saintes-Mariesde-La-Mer (included) This
morning, we depart early for our excursion by coach to the
Camargue. You will have some free time in Saintes-Maries-dela-
Mer before we return to Port-Saint Louis, where the ship
is berthed, for lunch. We then cruise towards Martigues,
where we disembark later this afternoon and continue by
coach to Orange, in Provence, where we stay for two nights.

to the Paris area for an overnight stay. B
DAY 7:
Journey
to Calais then return home. B
Included Meals: B=Breakfast,
L=Lunch, D=Dinner
Please note: If an excursion
means that you are away from the ship at lunch time, a packed
lunch will be provided. Also, at some ports of call a degree
of walking maybe involved to join your coach. Due to limited
docking facilities, it may be necessary to dock alongside
another ship, via which you can gain access to the shore.
Souvenir tip: If you have a sweet tooth, and
happen to like almonds, then you may like to
sample ‘Calissons d’Aix’ a sweet speciality of
Aix-en-Provence. Calissons are a diamondshaped
sweet, made with almond paste, and
dusted with sugar icing.
